Rock Paper Shotgun's latest roundup showcases a cluster of new PC games that favor the eerie and the uncanny, with a lighter Star Trek entry tucked in for balance. The selection leans into occult themes, unsettling aesthetics and a range of bizarre sensory approaches, offering something for players after chills or charm alike.

  • Dominant tone: many of this week's releases emphasize horror and occult motifs, with atmospheres built around dread and mystery rather than straight action.
  • Art and design experiments: expect games that toy with unusual textures and stylistic choices — from fragile, paper-like visuals to ink-dark palettes and oddly organic, preserved or fishy sensibilities.
  • Contrast on the schedule: alongside the macabre offerings, there's a notably pleasant Star Trek title providing a friendlier, character-driven diversion.
  • Variety for curious players: the week covers a wide spectrum of flavors and moods, so whether you want to be unsettled or simply entertained you’ll find options to try.
  • Reader callout: the full list is available at the source for anyone wanting a deeper look, and the roundup welcomes suggestions for standout new releases.
